The article is devoted to building the structure of National spatial monitoring system (general/standard, operational/crisis and background/scientific) effectiveness sustainable management in critical infrastructure, formed according seven-block principle its closed multidimensional functioning. complex target specific functions subsystem “Management control” has been improved, with an addition...

BACKGROUND As second-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) availability increases in resource-limited settings, questions about the value of laboratory monitoring remain. We assessed the outcomes and cost-effectiveness (CE) of laboratory monitoring to guide switching ART. METHODS We used a computer model to project life expectancy and costs of different strategies to guide ART switching in patien...

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficiency of alternative monitoring services for people with ocular hypertension (OHT), a glaucoma risk factor. DESIGN Discrete event simulation model comparing five alternative care pathways: treatment at OHT diagnosis with minimal monitoring; biennial monitoring (primary and secondary care) with treatment if baseline predicted 5-year glaucoma risk is ≥6%; monitoring...

BACKGROUND Clozapine is effective in treating patients with schizophrenia who do not respond to conventional neuroleptic drugs. The drug is unique in that it is available only with a US Food and Drug Administration-mandated system for weekly monitoring of patients' white blood cell counts. No study has been conducted to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of this mandatory monitoring system. METH...

This paper uses a novel empirical setting to explore the association between a firm’s operational risk, managerial monitoring costs, and the level of CEO equity incentives. We investigate a sample of supplier firms that rely on a few large customers for the bulk of their revenues. We predict that supplier firms with higher customer concentration face both higher exogenous idiosyncratic risk and...

Networks-on-Chip (NoC) are scalable interconnects for Systems-on-Chip (SoC). An event-based NoC monitoring service has been developed within the DEMONS project which supports runtime observability of NoC behavior. Runtime NoC performance monitoring is an instance of this monitoring service and enables observation of performance measures such as connection latency and link utilization, while a s...

Aircraft industry has to meet a challenge of reducing operational and maintenance costs. One of the possible ways for reducing these costs is the introduction of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). WSNs are already finding a variety of applications for both safety-critical and non-safety critical distributed systems. This paper deals with the application of WSNs for aircraft structural health moni...

This paper studies repeated games with privately observed signals where it is feasible but costly to observe other players’ past actions accurately. At the end of each period, players decide the set of players to monitor by paying the corresponding observation costs. We show that the folk theorem holds for any finite stage game that satisfies the fulldimensionality condition and a minimal disti...
